Retrieving filesize information

You can retrieve the byte size of a file using the GetFileSize method. All filenames are relative to your current remote directory.

Example

[C#]

// get size of file image.gif in bytes

long filesize = myFtp.GetFileSize("image.gif");

[Visual Basic]

' get size of file image.gif in bytes

Dim filesize As Long = myFtp.GetFileSize("image.gif")

Note

The GetFileSize method utilizes a command that is supported by a majority of FTP servers however is not officially recognized by RFC 959 so may not be supported on some FTP servers.
